Breitbart Reports: With very rare exceptions, I find that 99.9 percent of Rotten Tomatoes’ reviewers fall into three categories: 1) didactic leftists who review from a political rather than artistic point of view, 2) studio suck-ups who love the swag, and 3) a combination of one and two. So, no, I’m not a fan, and Rotten Tomatoes has failed so often in guiding my choices that I don’t bother looking anymore. The site’s biggest problem is that woke, left-wing garbage is graded on an affirmative action curve.
As far as me not joining Rotten Tomatoes, that’s only because I think joining is stupid.
But back to the question of… Why now?
There are three answers to that question, the first being the easiest…
Disney.
Over the last 18 months or so, almost all of Disney’s movies and streaming shows have been getting murdered at Rotten Tomatoes and, by extension, in the ratings and box office. And when the Disney Grooming Syndicate is unhappy, the earth rattles as corporate media sycophants strap on battle gear.
Tell me, what else has changed over the last 25 years?
That’s it. That is all that has changed: Disney’s fortunes have reversed.

Disney was gaming the reviews on RT for years. Take a look at the user reviews...Disney films were getting 10/10 from "users" with only one review to their name. When Disney stopped paying RT big advertising dollars, the reviews became somewhat objective again. As Nolte writes, this is when the hammer came down on RT.
